Scholarship of the Katrin Cartlidge Foundation 2010 to be awarded to the Cine Institute, Haiti

This year, for the first time, the bursary of Katrin Cartlidge Foundation will be given to an institution rather than an individual. This years' curator Annie Nocenti has selected the Cine Institute, Haiti.

Using the power of cinema, integrated educational programming, technical training and media production support, Cine Institute educates and empowers Haitian youth who seek the creative, technical and business skills necessary to grow local media industries that can provide jobs and spur economic growth needed to improve their lives and the lives of others.

Since January 12, Cine Institute's students have documented the aftermath and recovery efforts following the devastating earthquake in Haiti.

The Concorde Cinema, home of the Cine Institute, was destroyed by the earthquake and is currently condemned.  The Katrin Cartlidge Foundation bursary will help the Cine Institute to rebuild its home and continue its inspirational work.

Cine Institute student Keziah Jean will collect the bursary on behalf of her school and her fellow students.  Keziah was selected for this honour because of her short fiction film TANBOU MARYE (Wedding Drum) and reportage film PINCHINAT, about a refugee camp. Keziah Jean will participate in this year's Talent Campus.

The actress Katrin Cartlidge died suddenly in September 2002.  Her many film credits included NAKED, BEFORE THE RAIN, BREAKING THE WAVES, CAREER GIRLS, TOPSY TURVY and NO MAN’S LAND.  

Shortly after her untimely death the Katrin Cartlidge Foundation was established in her memory. It exists to encourage, in the form of an annual bursary awarded to a new creative voice in cinema, the independence, singularity and integrity of spirit that Katrin Cartlidge powerfully embraced and exemplified in her own lifetime.
Each year, the bursary is awarded at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
